Bayern go 10 points clear as rivals crash

Bayern Munich went 10 points clear in the Bundesliga on Saturday as Robert Lewandowski netted twice in their 3-0 home win against Eintracht Frankfurt while their main rivals lost.

Bayern have now hit 28 goals in their last six games with Lewandowski claiming 10 of them as coach Carlo Ancelotti stays on course to steer Bayern to a fifth straight German league title in his first season.

The German giants are also well-placed to complete a treble of Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup titles.

It is nearly four months since Bayern’s last defeat — a 3-2 loss at Rostov in the Champions League on November 23.

Bayern’s iron-grip on the Bundesliga tightened as rivals RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund both lost on Saturday.

“That was a good day for us, we put in a good result and things went well for us elsewhere,” said Ancelotti.
